It was a balmy 1 degree for ice skating on the lagoon tonight. Claire and Tara tried to join us, but alas, they weren't able to get skate rentals (well, they could have, but it was 8:30 and the rentals were due back at 9:00). So, the remaining six of us made a few laps around the lagoon, and down the dead-end trail at the end. There were only two minor wipe-outs - Lana as she was attempting to do the 'Turney Thing', and Dick, who momentarily forgot the 'Bend your Knees, Stick out your Butt' rule. It was Dick's first time in his life on ice skates - he's from Atlanta. He caught on fairly quickly, and kept up with us more 'seasoned' skaters (hah!) pretty well. Dick and Jason were both out with the club for the first time.

Bowness Park is definitely the place for outdoor skating. The lagoon is huge compared to most outdoor rinks, and the ice is in pretty good shape.
